syzygy Posted August 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I'm continuing to plug away at the Jefferson album/ set. These two were among my recent acquisitions....15 is the magic number now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syzygy Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Picked up a One Onza of this variety to go with my Two Onza posted earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syzygy Posted September 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Added some large silver pieces to the collection... 1976 100 Schilling KM #2930 .640 silver (.4924 oz) 1977 50 Franc KM #941.1 .900 silver (.8682 oz) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 I have one of those 50 Franc pieces, fantastic design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syzygy Posted September 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Continuing with the Jefferson collection, I added these two... I am particularly pleased with the 43-S ($3.75). A while ago, I bought a board of wartime nickels... ...and did not notice until later that the 1943-S slot was filled with a 1945-S (way to check the coins you buy eh?)

syzygy Posted September 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Every once in a while, I seem to purchase some coins for no good reason. I mean, I try to stay focussed on some collecting projects...Jefferson set...Lincoln set...Large world silver...always looking to expand or upgrade some type sets and add to a small late Roman Empire set. So, I really don't know why I bought this mini-dime type set. They were all on a card and were reasonably priced and...well, I just felt like getting them. There is really nothing that I can even use as an upgrade to my existing US dime type set shown here... oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sisu Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 The Barber dime looks to be quite nice. It almost seems as if someone had put together a type set within a certain grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syzygy Posted October 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Nice Jeffersons Thanks Art. The album only has a few holes left - kind of exciting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syzygy Posted October 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Added another silver piece. Interesting because it is unusually thick and has a plain edge.

syzygy Posted November 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Yesterday, a friend and I went to the Baltimore show - what a great time! I have been to this large show many times and always enjoy it a lot. This was the first time that I was able to go on a Friday (the first day of the puplic show). This one was advertised as the "largest ever" and it was, in fact, larger than any I have been to previously. I picked up quite a few coins there, including these two Jeffs...and....I have now completed my Jefferson album (1938-2004 with proofs). WooHoo!

thedeadpoint Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Nice! I was up there today and didn't even cover the full bourse floor! I usually can comb all the dealer's tables in an hour and get back to buying. But with the new space, jeeesh... I have no money now either. Whatever, new members of the collectons.

Did you ever make it to see the 1913 Liberty head nickel? I kept trying to head in the direction of the booth number but always got side tracked - it was quite a nice show.

I kept trying to head in the direction of the booth number but always got side tracked - it was quite a nice show. Totally forgot it was there! Anywho, I did see a lot of other fancy pieces around. Some of the currency stuff was mouth-watering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syzygy Posted November 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 Another pickup from the Baltimore show... 1926 Sesquicentennial commemorative half. These were designed by John R. Sinnock who also designed the Franklin Half (can you see the resemblence?). They are notoriously low-relief for an otherwise great design. They can get quite pricey - but not in this condition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syzygy Posted December 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Picked up this tasty little peso today. At $7.50, it's a nice addition to the silver collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syzygy Posted December 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 For the small cent type set..almost 70 years old and looking young as a new born. BTW: I positively hate photographing slabbed coins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
